Dress Code

Salpointe Catholic High School maintains the right to establish a dress code for students. The student dress code is important to promote a conducive learning environment. Students are expected to dress appropriately while on campus and during all school-sponsored activities. The parameters for appropriate dress and grooming are set forth below. Parents/guardians are expected to offer the first and best counsel to their student in this matter. The Deans are the interpreters of proper attire.

Dress code polos, outwear and P.E. uniforms are available through the Salpointe Spirit Store.
